Review of a witch

Tony is stopping with his Grandpa and Grandma’s, on their farm in Maryland for the holidays, whilst his mum is at work.

Tony loves being on the farm as it’s completely different from his home in New York. He also loves playing with Skippy, the family’s pet Alsatian, who just adores Tony too.

Whilst stopping at his Grandparents’ house, Tony goes fishing and catches that night’s supper, as well as helping out his Grandpa varnish the wooden picnic tables that his Grandpa had built. He also likes baking cookies with his Grandma, but his favourite thing to do, is to walk along the stream with Skippy, looking for insects etc. He is OK doing this, as long as he stays within sight of the house.

One day he wanders a little further than he should have. He eventually wanders into a field of flowers, which are being picked by a young girl called Cora. The two spend the afternoon playing together, and arrange to meet up again.

When he returns home, he tells his Grandparents about the young girl, but his grandparents don’t know of any young girls in the village, and are mystified by her. Who really is Cora, and why is she on the farmland?

‘Tony Taylor and Summer with Grandpa’ is a charming children’s book about a young boy spending time with his Grandparents.

The book is well paced and the chapters are quite short, so child readers don’t become too overwhelmed. There is enough action and eventful moments to keep the interest within the pages.

The characters were impressively written and I could have been right there on the farm with the family, as the descriptions were written in that much detail.

When Tony met Cora, I knew something wasn’t right, but I never actually expected the ending.

Tony Taylor and Summer with Grandpa is the first book in the ‘Tony Taylor’ series, and I actually can’t wait to read the others!

A fantastic début that B.C. Mullins should be proud of.
